Does anyone know what the deal is with the 2nd status LED, the one on the left of the earpiece. What is it for?
Thats the bluetooth LED.
my bluetooth is on, and ive never noticed it blinking. under what circumstances does it blink?
Ive wondered this same thing ever since Ive gotten this phone... I have never seen it blink and with bt the right one is lit for me...
I activated my phone yesterday and received maybe 30 or so texts since then. The notification light only lit up after one of them, which i received a few hours ago. When I got the phone I just assumed it would light up for texts like my g1 did but after it didnt i was disappointed.
So, is the green light on the right supposed to light up for text/email/voicemail/etc...notifications? thanks and sorry for asking such a stupid question and doing it in the wrong thread
The light sensor is on the left, LED on the right. If you put backlight to auto you can test by coverint the left side.
is there even an auto for brightness?or is it during calls only?
confused
i don't have this backlight auto settings.
where can i enable that?
i just have a slider where i can change the brightness manually
yeah where is that setting for auto backlight, i would love to have that.
Settings -> Display -> disable Auto Brightness, and tap it off..
i dont have that.
maybe the mytouch didnt come with that sensor?
me neither.
i dont have that option there.

dude, as far as I know the Magic doesnt have any light senson.
the option quoted above doesnt exist
I don't think so
This has been the second time I have heard the one on the left is a light sensor by two different people , Maybe it is a light sensor but maybe some of the stock versions of android like mine {Vodafone UK 32B board} currently doesn't support the hardware??
I can see both the LEDs alright but the there is no obvious way to set the one on the left as far as I know.
Italian (TIM) HTC Magic (32A).
i now upgraded to hero rom and voila, the option is there.

Which model do you have? As far as I know, the Hero is the only device that has the light sensor, that's why the auto-backlight feature is only available in the Hero roms and not the stock Magic/Sapphire/MyTouch roms... I don't even think that the other thing is an LED, it looks like one but I'm sure I read somewhere that someone opened up his device to check and noticed that there are no wires connecting it up to anything!

does it work?
The Magic/Sapphire does NOT have a light sensor. The Hero is currently the only Android device with a sensor thats why you see that option with a Hero ROM.
no it doesnt work. as my predecessor already noticed
is there possibility to FORCE the SUN LIGHT mode?( when the phone gets very bright on sun light....)
you know when you hold the note 4 with direct sun light on it, it gets extremely bright and you can see the screen very good...
i want to have the possibility to make it that bright when i want and not just on sun light (cause when i'm not in direct sun light it also hard to see)
i tried looking in setting but nothing there... i can put it on high bright but never like that brightens in sun light
any idea what i can do?? maybe some tweak or app?
thanks
p.s. if root needed for that - is there any root for note 4?! and any guide how to root it...? thanks
any body knows.....??
Can't you just set the brightness to MAX?
its not the same as it get extremely bright.. that why i'm asking
As I know auto bright should do trick , more than that may damage screen as I know.
nothing else i can do to force this ??
I'm really curious if anyone has found a way. It drives me insane how useful the feature is on a sunny day but if a shadow of any sort including my own head or hand goes over the sensor the screen dims. In fact with Auto brightness enabled it actually goes dimmer than it would with Auto turned Off.
back in the day when i had the note 2 there was a guy who made an app for that. It needed root to work though and you have to apply it every time you reboot the device.
The app was called: a brighter note
maybe he cares todo the same for the note 4 if you ask him
I also need this. it is not BRIGHTER it alters the colors of the screen (they appear paler more washed out) but this results in it beeing EXCEEDINGLY more visible in bright sunlight.
I use my note 4 as a 4k camear with my 60mm moment lens mounted to my SLR so I can shoot pictures and video at the same time. alas it ALWAYS switches away from this optimal mode unless I aim the sensor DIRECTLY into the sun itself. any deviation and it switches back rendering the screen nearly "black" relatively speaking. useless
but that high contrast brightness mode is a DREAM. quite usable ! I want to force that to stay on. also can I do it for a Note 3?
Hello guys i have the s7 edge with the last update of android 7.0 nougat my device is rooted. Well, when i put my finger on the top of the device where the selfie camera and the speaker exists the brightness is getting low. If i let my finger the brightness is shinny again. I have already turned off the auto brightness no fix. Already tried to reinstall the firmware same problem. Looked on the settings for screen to change some but nothing changed also. My phone never get down . Its not damaged. How to fix this annoying issue pleaseee????????
Can someone help me please ?
Hello community,
After a while I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, my accidently dropped from the screen side.
Screen started blinking white at the down side and half above of screen is green.
The interesting thing is when you are outside like sunny weather, if you set the brightness to the full the problem will be fixed! Unless you go to a darker place.
I took it to a repair shop, they said the LCD is broken and it must be replaced. For some reasons in our country it is too expensive for us to replace it.
Are they saying the truth? Including the solution I mentioned above, is LCD totally broken?
The second problem is I can't turn auto brightness off completely. When I disable it my phone still do some adjustments for the brightness of the screen and causes flickering at the lower brightness.
I almost searched the Internet to find out how to disable the proximity sensor. But I didn't see any helpful solution.
Sorry for bad English.
Thank you for reading.
up...
pls some help me for disabling the proxymity sensor
There was an app called Hardware disabler that I used on my Note to disable the proximity sensor. I think it needs root an was not in the playstore, but it worked fine for years.
